Miami-Dade’s newest commissioner has staffed up her District 8 office.

Sean McCrackine, who worked in the District 8 office when Katy Sorenson held the seat, left Commissioner Jean Monestime’s staff to join Levine Cava as chief of policy and planning. Maria Elena Levrant jumped from Miami International Airport’s media office to be Levine Cava’s chief of constituent affairs. Before heading for the airport, she worked 12 years in the offices of Sorenson and then-commissioner Jimmy Morales (now Miami Beach’s city manager).

The long-time president of Catalyst Miami, an non-profit she founded in 1995, Levine Cava did not name a chief of staff. The third “chief” position went to Adele Bagley, a lawyer and former Catalyst intern, who will serve as chief of community engagement.

Jason Smith, director of intergovernmental affairs for the county’s Public Works department, was hired as Levine Cava’s legislative director.

Johanna Cervone will handle communications and outreach, Rick Morgan is community liason and special-projects coordinator, Rahel Weldeyesus will coordinate community service and Martha Ochoa is Levine Cava’s new executive assistant.
